it's 2 days earlier vs it's 2 days

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'It's 2 days earlier' implies that something is happening 2 days before a specific point in time, while 'It's 2 days' alone doesn't convey a complete thought. The first phrase is commonly used to indicate a time difference, while the second phrase would need additional context to make sense.
